Last week's speaker-Dr. David Langemo.
From Rotarian Jennifer Giovinazzo's Facebook page:
Met one of the warmest people I have met in a long time. Dr. David Langemo founder of Long Meadow Leadership.
He provides non-profits with perspectives on destructive leadership and intervention.
There are 40,000 non-profits in the state of MN and over 12 million employees throughout the US working in non-profit.
Non-profits loss about 23.8 million annually through turnover and productivity loss. Some astounding numbers to say the least. David is working hard to help change the trajectory of the sector.
What a great leader! Thank you for sharing and thank you for all you do for Rotary!
